The offside was more restrictive in Pele´s era: In 1990 the rule was modified slightly to consider that an attacker in line with the penultimate opponent would not be in an offside position. The existing 1925-26 rule that enabled the player if the pass left the field itself was also removed. These changes were part of a general movement of the highest authorities of the sport to favour attacking football and allow the game to unfold with more freedom.

At 2:05 it would have been offside during Pele´s era. FIFA changed the rule in recent years to promote more goals by allowing the attacker to be onside if he is in the same line with the defender.

(cont) The offside was more restrictive in Pele´s era: In 2003, FIFA issued more restrictive advice so that the attacking game is favoured. In that way, a player in an offside position is not always penalized, but will depend on his actions and position. With this modification, the attackers would no longer be penalized if they are in an enabling position even if they had a teammate in an offside position, as long as he is in a passive attitude. This has allowed more goals to be scored through legitimate passes from the defense. www.fifa.com/mm/document/afdeveloping/refereeing/5.%20law%2011_554.pdf
